NotebookLM Skill

Query NotebookLM notebooks and manage notebooks/sources via Playwright browser automation.

All commands run from the skill directory. All scripts output JSON to stdout and exit 1 on error. Use --help on any script for full flag reference.

Workflow

  1. Authenticate: python scripts/auth_manager.py setup --profile <name>
  2. Register notebook: python scripts/notebook_manager.py add --url <url> --name <name> --description <desc> --topics <topics>
  3. Ask questions: python scripts/ask_question.py --question "..." --notebook-id <id>
  4. Manage sources: python scripts/remote_manager.py add-source|sync-sources ...

Key Behaviors

  • Runs headless by default; use --show-browser for debugging only.
  • Persistent Chrome profiles stored at ~/.config/claude/notebooklm-skill/ (override with NOTEBOOKLM_DATA_DIR).
  • Hash-based dedupe: file uploads skip unchanged sources automatically.
  • --dry-run available on all destructive/bulk operations (create, add-source, delete-source, sync-sources).
  • --retries N retries transient browser failures with screenshot/HTML artifact capture.
  • Batch mode (--questions "q1||q2||q3") and multi-notebook comparison (--compare-notebook-ids) supported.
  • Exports to JSON or Markdown via --export-format markdown --save-notes.
  • Answers include a follow-up reminder prompting Claude to ask clarifying questions before replying.

Tips for Notebooklm

  • • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
  • • This skill ships scripts. Read them before the first run, and run it in a project without secrets first.
  • • It bundles reference files. The agent reads them only when needed, so they cost no context until then.
  • • It is part of a pack with 25 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
  • • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
